There are a few fixes included per user feedback. Keep in mind that the 16-bit version is at its limit in terms of part number quantity in the price files. The limit is 2439 lines which means that not all the prices will be found in the 16-bit version. The 32-bit version does NOT have this restriction. 10/21/93 The LTS for the 8515 monitor was withdrawn per letter PCC 93- 456.

OTHERWISE YOU WILL RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE ABOUT HAVING AN INVALID SYSTEMS.CFG FILE. THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS CAUSED BY THE 16-BIT CODE ATTEMPTING TO LOAD A 32-BIT CFG FILE. 10/18/93 Announcing the 1st 32-bit release of ICPAUSA. It is VERY important that you read the ICPAUSA README file. The 16-bit version is also included but you must read the README in order to use it. Also new for this release is the removal of ValuePoint Est Hi, MED, and LOW prices. These have been replaced with the PC DIRECT prices. Again there is more information on the pricing changes in the README file. And of course, the 10/18/93 Valuepoint (and Windsurfer) announcements are included. 10/13/93 IMPORTANT NEWS, PLEASE READ. Either the week of 10/18 or 10/25/93, I plan to break in a 32-bit version of ICPA. The implications are these: IT WILL ONLY RUN ON OS/2 2.0 OR GREATER, NOT ON OS/2 1.X. ALSO ANY SAVED CONFIGURATIONS (.CFF FILES) WILL NOT BE COMPATABLE WITH THE NEW PROGRAM. THE PLUSES ARE THAT THE UNDO MATH BUG IS FIXED, PRINTER SELECTION CAN BE SAVED FOR FUTURE SESSIONS. If this break-in is going to cause you a great deal of grief then let me know as I may delay to the 25th instead of the 18th but 32-bit is coming no matter. 10/12/93 Moved TP 300 and TP 700s to withdrawn category along with associated items per letter PCC93-424.
